The other day I spotted a brilliant article by Laura Neilson about how to look like a true Parisian while cycling no matter where you are. It’s a fact that French ladies have the je ne sais quoi quality mastered to perfection. They always look understatedly-snazzy with au naturel-messy hair and totally effortless. So here are a few tips to French-biking-perfection I love:

* Always wear normal clothes while biking. For French girls it's just a form of transportation not a type of exercise. (No sweatpants or sneakers required).

TOtally! When I bike I really wear jeans, cute top, cardigan, and put my bag in my basket. But never flats because of that one time it fell off in the intersection and Mr. Branflake had to go run and get it.

This makes me wanna put on a really cute outfit and go ride my bike! I say I have a grown up Barbie bike. It's a pink cruiser with streamers coming out of the handle bars. I had to have it, even though it is nothing like my style at all. The irony was too much to pass up.
